Those of you who dont know, I work for UBS which is a major sponsor of Alinghi in the americas cup. Here’s a diagram of boat parts from their website. There’s a mistake there that the sailors among us might pick up. Good to see UBS is up with the lingo, NOT!. By the way, does anyone know what a keelbomb is? And is anyone reading this blog apart from Jenny?

Thought the helm was the steering wheel not the sticking down bit under the boat, thought that was the rudder.
Is a keelbomb a counter weight to try and keep the boat upright.
And no Jenny isn’t the only one reading your blogs.
Yep you got it. You’re officially skipper!
